Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead

Slate is running a number of pieces on pulp fiction. There's a nice appreciation of Mildred Pierce, a great James Cain novel. There's an amusing display of pulpy covers of classic novels (I particularly like Moby Dick.) John Banville has a short piece on Richard Stark's Parker series. Then there is this bit on a "lesbian erotic thriller" by Patricia Highsmith. This really is a something for everyone week over there.
